ArcGIS Web Adaptor is provided as a setup program and is executed through a utility named Setup.exe. You can install ArcGIS Web Adaptor on its own using the steps provided here, or you can install silently using Windows Installer command line parameters.
Installation behavior and requirements
The ArcGIS Web Adaptor version must always match the version of its registered server site.
ArcGIS Web Adaptor can be installed side by side with other versions. You are not required to uninstall ArcGIS Web Adaptor to install ArcGIS Web Adaptor, and ArcGIS Web Adaptor is not an upgrade of previous releases.
Each ArcGIS Web Adaptor must have its own unique name; you cannot have two Web Adaptors with the same name on a single web server. If a naming conflict is detected during the installation, a warning message is displayed. You must uninstall the earlier version with the same name to resolve the conflict. Alternatively, you can change the name of one of the Web Adaptors to proceed with the installation.
Upgrade an earlier version of ArcGIS Web Adaptor
To upgrade an earlier version of ArcGIS Web Adaptor to 11.0, you must uninstall the earlier version, and install the 11.0 setup. During the 11.0 installation, you'll specify the same name as your earlier Web Adaptor. This guarantees your Web Adaptor URL will remain identical to the earlier version.
If a naming conflict is detected during the 11.0 installation, a warning message is displayed. You must uninstall the earlier version with the same name to perform the upgrade.
After installing 11.0, you must configure ArcGIS Web Adaptor with its corresponding server site.
Before installing ArcGIS Web Adaptor
- Verify that your system meets all system requirements.

Attempting to configure ArcGIS Web Adaptor so that the URL includes additional levels is not supported and may cause problems with client applications.
